Ulta Finds Beauty in AI
The Ulta Beauty brand views AI as essential to making connections with customers. Ulta’s GLAMlab Virtual Try-On application harnesses the power of AI so customers can try out thousands of different beauty products without ever walking into a store. There’s also an AI-driven skin analysis tool that gives personalized skin care recommendations and a step-by-step routine.
“Team Ulta Beauty is innovative at its heart, in small and big ways,” said the brand’s Chief Digital Officer Prama Bhatt last week on the podcast Retail Gets Real. “Our team is always innovating. Our approach has been one of dreaming big and being action-oriented.”
Bhatt is especially passionate about generative AI — using technology to create content. “The irony of generative AI is my hope that it actually becomes the most human thing that we do together because it allows people to really leverage tools in a way that help them do what they do even better and drive even more human connection.”
